It's all very personal. Partly because you will like certain key switches and layouts, and partly because any problems you may be having may not be solved by the same things that fixed my problems.

Personally, having tried a wide variety of keyboards and layouts (both key pattern and physical keyboard design), I think the biggest improvement is switching to any mechanical keyboard. Anything with Cherry MX switches will be a huge improvement over some cheap, sliding plastic keyboard from an OEM. After that, the particular type of switch might matter to you. Cherry Red, for example, only requires really light pressure. Topre switches are buttery smooth.

For physical configuration, I personally like either an 87 key, or I go all out with a Kinesis Advantage. The Kinesis saved my early career when I developed bilateral De Quervain's syndrome, which is tendinitis in the wrist that starts with the thumb. After years of this, I finally returned to traditional QWERTY 87 key configurations and haven't had a flare-up. I still think the Kinesis configuration (arrow keys accessible without moving the hands, thumbs are used for delete, enter, home/end and PgUp/PgDn) is ergonomically superior, but it's nice being able to jump on any normal QWERTY keyboard without fighting muscle memory.

My personal favorite mouse is the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. I've heard good things about vertical mice for carpal tunnel.
Thanks! Will look into it later!
when digital "property" can be returned for a refund, sold or transfered at will, works on any
operating system, is insurable, then , it will be in a position where it will be respected enough to
get public suport for inclusion as real property.

idea: digital property could be uniquely insurable, as a loss could be re-issued withe same

I really enjoyed how the payloads are encrypted, but the implementation leaves time synchronization in plaintext. With the street lamps that work to a fixed schedule, all you have to do is reset the time between 12pm and 12am to turn them on and off (the “lamplighter” attack, in the talk.)
Like parent mentioned - I don't upload photos to Google photos, assume parent doesn't upload photos to iCloud.

Should photo info be sent to Apple/Google in this case?
“ a Serbian flight attendant who survived the highest fall without a parachute: 10.16 kilometres (6.31 miles) or 33,338 feet … She had little to no memory of the incident and had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. Despite her willingness to resume work as a flight attendant, Jat Airways (JAT) gave her a desk job negotiating freight contracts, feeling her presence on flights would attract too much publicity.“

The real next step is standardizing battery sizes. Think of all the other gadgets that have replaceable batteries. (Eg. Power tools)

Most of those batteries are standard at the wholesale level. But a thin plastic layer added to house the battery makes it proprietary due to the connection interface. And now it’s a world of incompatible batteries and price gouging for replacement batteries.
What do you mean by "exactly these kinds of attacks"? Besides both mentioning power infrastructure, they are completely different things.

One is "hey, terrorists or enemy states could destroy our entire grid, we'd all be fucked if this happened, here's what needs to be done to protect ourselves", the other is "hey, these powerful groups are destroying the planet for personal gain, do you think it might be justified to sabotage the tools they use to do that?"

Mass outages harm the public, sabotaging fossil fuel infrastrusture protects it. Even if the methods of the grid talk were applicable to such sabotage, which they really aren't, I don't see how hosting both of these discussions is a bad thing.
TIL it stands for "Project Object Model". It sounds like a backronym or made-up name to me.
Software should have some universal competency baseline, like a license. If AI resume spamming is that straw that breaks the camel’s back then so be it.

The best defense against AI would be a license number that identifies a person uniquely, provides their relevant job history from a database, proves some minimal common competency baseline, and confirms conformance to some ethical norm against known liabilities.
This story predates that period by well over a decade. Even if the company you worked for isn't one of the ones named towards the end of the article, it is very likely that the company you worked for was in some way connected with people from either or both of Benter's or Woods' operations.
Moreover, I've never heard of a long-distance passenger train being delayed or cancelled in Russia. Granted, I mostly knew about major trains to major destinations from Moscow/Saint Petersburg. Not a single person I knew had a plan for "the train is cancelled/delayed". Like, forgetting ID is more likely. I've heard it's a USSR legacy where passenger trains had much higher priority than even freight trains. Flight cancellations or delays - sure, they do happen.

Local trains even in these major cities do get delayed (around 2-5 minutes is typical, very rarely up to 30 minutes) or cancelled. Delays are in the moment, cancellations are typically announced a day or two in advance, as I was told.

"11 trains are late for at least two hours" makes regional news.
Ah thanks. But even then, there’s two pilots for redundancy, so it would take an extreme event that both pilots got knocked out..?
The anki website has some UI so you could do the reviews there. A bit minimalist though.
But for that to cause real trouble, you'd need coordinated action that would require something like a state level actor.

Or thousands of individuals using relatively inexpensive HackRF One SDR's, or home-brew radio transmitters which can be built even more cheaply. Of course all those people would need a way to communicate with each other over large distances... perhaps some kind of packet switching network running over a series of tubes (or avian carriers). Hmmm.
We are in the process of UL-certifying it with the cells that we ship it with, then if you replace the cells, I guess the certification is not valid anymore, but if you choose good quality cells you should be quite reassured to know that the whole battery (except your new cells) has been certified, and that the casing is fireproof!
I agree that this isn’t necessary and that Apple should have asked for consent from the user.

I do want to point out that Apple doesn’t get to see your photo. Homomorphic encryption is really cool in that way. Apple isn’t able to decrypt the photo and the results they produce are also encrypted. That’s the beauty of homomorphic encryption. I can send you an encrypted spreadsheet and you can compute the sum of a column for me. I’m the only one who can see the actual sum since you can only see the encrypted sum.
$5 Type c cables also have "circuits" in them. It's not that hard or expensive to implement an e-markee chip.
My Asus ZenFone 3 - I cannot find a battery for it, so it is now permanently connected to an USB cable doing other stuff than being a mobile phone.

There is a huge diversity in phone and battery models, it is easy to find a replacement for some, difficult or impossible for others.
> Linux doesn't have DLL Hell generally.

It absolutely does, especially when there are incompatible upgrades. People still talk about libc.so.6 issues. Whenever you upgrade a system library you can get breakage, only last week I had to deal with that kind of problem (on a Debian system no less).

> there are systems in place to store every version of every DLL ever seen, because even DLLs with the same version may not be interchangeable. That is truly hellish.

The fact that they've put those systems in place makes it much better positioned than Linux IMO. The implementation may be ugly, but ultimately windows programs continue to work even in the face of incompatible library changes, and without having abandoned dynamic libraries entirely. I think it's possible to do dynamic linking right (perhaps with something like Nix), but as implemented on traditional Debian-style distributions the cost is too high.

Reminds me of an old hwops story where one machine just constantly failed despite replacing every part on the tray multiple times. The conclusion was that the tray was bad.

Google's definition of a server was (and still is afaik) based on the tray (chassis) so there was no way to replace it. IIRC it was "retired" with vengeance leaving a gap in the cabinet — a warning to other trays to behave.
No, not at all. It’s a bit implied, there’s a few references to children only having a single sibling but it’s not a codified rule. Life largely went on as usual, but a lack of death and the benevolent god AI changed things up interestingly.

The three novels take place hundreds of years after the established of the new way of living, there’s interesting insights about the repercussions of a deathless society and what it changes for the more extreme ends of entertainment.
I think the wendelstein ran net positive for a few deconds and then had to be turned off to protect it from overheating. From memory, it's being upgraded now with metal shielding. Excited to see fusion happen. A functioning fusion reactor would solve a bunch of germanies energy problems.
I'm kind of annoyed none of the articles I've read about this have mentioned the agreement the European Commission made with several smartphone manufacturers back in 2009, which came into effect around 2011: that's when (most of) the manufacturers agreed to ditch proprietary connectors in favor of (micro-) usb.

Sure, it wasn't a law. And we went from micro-usb to usb-c, but I've read so many articles claiming "the end of a drawer filled with different chargers is here!", when that basically already happened over 10 years ago.

Some Flemish articles about this:

Rust is denser than C, but both Rust and C++ can work on similarly high level of abstraction.

It may be just down to rustfmt. It really adds a lot of vertical sprawl. I personally can't stand how much rustfmt makes multi-line code explode.

Roadside icecream in Asia is quite hazardous. I would in general eat only very hot cooked food (165F or 74C, inside and outside) while in Asia, thereby ensuring the germs are dead. Stick to boiled or sealed bottled water. Despite the food being hot, it can still sometimes contain bacterial toxins or mycotoxins. Avoid salads while outdoors almost anywhere. Also be careful with the choice of fish to avoid any potentially toxic fish, e.g. reef fish.
No I've not read them, I don't see why I would as I'm not an apple customer. But I do wonder if apple are in charge/control the encryption keys to your encrypted data...

How I run LLMs locally
The setup for “that wasn’t real homomorphic encryption!” is in, when in 2-4 years it comes out that they were doing this exact thing.

The entire concept of a homomorphic encryption system is a land mine outside of obscure academic discussions. In practice systems marketed to the public as “homomorphic encryption” will result in user data exfil mark my words.
Agreed.

Lightening was most likely a combination of:

* The connection interface was superior to USB-A Micro/Mini in both size and reliability - and this was the contemporary connector in 2012.

* They had undergone a physical connector change only once, and it was not received well by vendors.

* USB-C was not anywhere near ready for the iPhone 5, and the 40 pin would not do well in that type of device.

* USB-C and Lightening are comparable on size and reliability (saying nothing about speed) - so even after USB- started gaining adoption there was not a strong incentive to switch over. It wasn't superior.

* USB-C charging only would be fine, but people would expect drivers for storage, HDMI, radio docks etc. Easy to undersell this effort in hindsight.

I also doubt that it was a profit motive.

let’s not forget that Apple themselves helped design USB-C and pushed for it to be the standard. I guess they couldn't wait for it to be ready, and given the iPhone 5 came out in 2012 and the first commercially successful USB-C devices came in 2016 I guess they were right.
I'm not sure if I missed it or it wasn't said, but the registers that he talks about aren't the registers that you know from the instruction set ("architectural registers") - they are registers of the debug protocol state machine. I only realized pretty far into the talk.
I dunno, I bought a KeyChron K10 Pro a couple of months ago and I found it pretty easy to look for the things I wanted (2 super keys, 100% layout).
If you think it is the same, then you are free not to purchase the cable from Apple. Either way to claim that such cable constitutes "significant" revenue to Apple Inc. is just hyperbolic/preposterous.

The previous worst Korean air disaster was mostly caused by crew communication failures. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Flight_801

I assume that the model couldn’t run locally for some reason. Probably either uses too much power or needs too much memory.
Posture Detection System: computer vision to prevent neck strain
Once it is running on a computer you don't own, it is no longer your software.

To put it in the language of someone who mistakenly thinks you can own information: data about crashes on computers that aren't yours simply doesn't belong to you.
I think this is a personal thing. Even at home we are not equal. I can sleep almost anywhere, and usually fall asleep in a very short time after lying down and closing my eyes. Some people can even fall asleep on a chair in a wedding party with loud mudic and bright lights without even being wasted. Some people can't. Some will always complain about the bed, even in the most luxury/premium hotel. My partner can't stand the slightest light going through blinds, a neighbor making noise or the drunktards making noise in the street at night. Yet she will fall asleep in a matter of minutes in a car.

So as an individual traveling alone, you know your limits and can pretty much figure out if that way of travelling works for you. For a family, you are pretty sure at least one member of the family will have a rough night and complain in the morning.

A sure way to spend good night while travelling is to be very active during the day. You sleep much better if you have walked for 15 to 20km around a city to visit it than if you have been idle most of the time and taken taxis and buses whenever you could. Most lazy people don't understand that rest has to be earned.

TV series:

- Dark Angel. I somehow missed this during it's original broadcast run, and only just now went back and watched it. I don't think it's streaming anywhere legit, so I went the bittorrent route. I really enjoyed it. Season One is definitely stronger than Season Two, but it kept me pretty engaged for the entire series.

- Max Headroom. I'd seen the entire series before, but I went back for a re-watch. I love this show.

- Person of Interest. Same deal, I'd seen the entire run previously, but did a complete re-watch.

Movies:

I don't think I watched any contemporary movies this year. I mostly watched old cyberpunk movies and "cyberpunk adjacent" sci-fi. Not sure anything I watched was exactly great but a couple stood out as interesting at least (in various ways)

- 964 Pinocchio

- Tetsuo: The Iron Man

- New Rose Hotel

Also saw an interesting psychological horror / thriller titled "Open 24 Hours" that wasn't bad. And a movie titled "Synchronic" that was pretty good.

Informative / educational videos:

- N.J. Wildberger's "History of Mathematics" series

I imagine Apple might argue that no private information is sent thanks to the use of homomorphic encryption. But Apple’s explanation rings hollow without the user having the ability to verify that this system is working as described.

I have a number of quality, 3rd party USB PD rated cables which work without issue on iPhone 16, iPad Mini 6g, MacBook Pro. Both with and without 1st party chargers.

I guess the real next step is to keep selling thick old devices as the EU SKU and modern innovative stuff to the rest of the world. Apple already has to do that on the software side for their AI features. Given the current GDP/capita trajectory of the EU, that is likely all they will be able to afford anyway. :)
No, what you describe is not better. Quite the opposite.

First, USB PD is capable of much higher wattages than what SuperVOOC artificially caps USB PD to.

Second, proprietary charging standards are not compliant with the USB specification, so it didn't meet the regulation.
